I have been pretty busy today, so not much time to get to deleting Bird poop currently afflicting my comments.
Those familiar with Graeme Bird's history as a serial pest in the Australian blogosphere have had a few days' reminder of what he was like, and why he ends up getting banned sooner or later.
[In fact, sorry to tell you Bird, but your ideas seem pretty much stuck where they were a decade ago. Your primarily anti-Semitic conspiracies, cosmology and "reverse engineered" physics is very stale.]
As I mentioned before, he's been going through old posts of mine and making comments which I notice because copies are automatically emailed to me. Hence, I found this at the end of one of his comments last night, to one of my posts about Helen Dale, which is typical of the Bird of old - eventually getting angry or weird enough to throw in a line that sounds like it's from a dangerous psychopath:
In my
view the problem was with Australia and not with Helen. She can
reinvent her own act every second year, set up any number of protective
barriers, to protect the girl and the artist, as much as she wants
...... and its really no-one elses business but her own.
Last
time I met her, and last time I talked to her, was before I turned
anti-Judaic. Jason can verify this, so don't try and condemn her by
association, or I'll come around and slit your puppies throat.
(I presume he has noticed the occasional pic of my pup which gets posted here.)
I think that makes it worthwhile just deleting all future comments from you, Bird: you're very strange, and the amusement of interacting with you always wears off fast.
UPDATE: in response to comments -
* how have you all missed my dog's photos, such
as this one from only a month ago? (She has appeared a few times
before, too.) Zero marks for observation, everyone.
* no, I don't worry that Bird really is a psychopathic wannabe killer - you will note I actually responded to him in comments here in mocking tone, which I would not do if I feared he was actually was a danger to me (or my dog). But it's still off putting to be dealing with anyone who references, just about daily, an imagined violent fate for his imagined enemies. I think Jason only found a reference to killing a dog funny because he knows Bird's over the top rhetorical history - but no one near normal makes jokes like that, and he shouldn't be rewarded by normalisation via his repetition of conspiracy think that is ridiculously targeted against Jews, and the violent imagery he often spouts along with it.
* he has "retracted" the comment, which is nice - but he'll lose his temper again soon enough, or make some bad taste or offensive comment of some kind.
Hence, I'm just deleting him from now on, but if I am busy - like today - they may linger for a while before they go.
